Y, ¿ahora qué? And, now what? 00:14
¿Ahora qué hice? Now what did I do? 00:17
Si tú fuiste la que me enseñó a bailar If you were the one who taught me to dance 00:21
Cómo es posible que me pises How can you step on me? 00:23
Le di la vuelta a mi mundo pa que se pareciera a ti I turned my world upside down so it would be like you 00:28
Pero por más palmeras que plantemos en el jardín But no matter how many palm trees we plant in the garden 00:32
Esto jamás será La Habana This will never be Havana 00:35
Yo siempre seré Madrid I will always be Madrid 00:39
Y ahora qué hago cuando llegue otro febrero And what do I do now when another February comes? 00:41
¿Cómo le hago pa no acordarme más de ti? How do I manage not to remember you anymore? 00:46
En dos acentos nos dijimos mil "te quieros" In two accents, we said a thousand "I love yous" 00:49
Y en un silencio, nos dijimos: "Hasta aquí" And in silence, we said: "This is it" 00:53
Después dejaste en mi alma, Varadero Then you left Varadero in my soul 00:56
Y la Cibeles me preguntó por ti And the Cibeles asked me about you 01:00
Por tus cosas sabes, vida, que yo muero For your ways, you know, my love, I'm dying 01:04
Pero tú siempre serás La Habana But you will always be Havana 01:08
Y yo siempre seré Madrid And I will always be Madrid 01:13
Entonces qué So what? 01:29
Qué es lo que te hice What did I do to you? 01:32
Si tú fuiste la que me enseñó a pintar If you were the one who taught me to paint 01:36
Por qué no me hablaste de los grises Why didn't you tell me about the grays? 01:38
Al marcharte te llevaste esos colores When you left, you took those colors 01:43
Y esos olores que me gusta recordar And those smells that I like to remember 01:47
Tú fuiste lo más cerca que estuvo mi casa You were the closest my home ever was 01:50
De tener un mar, tener un mar To having a sea, having a sea 01:54
Le di la vuelta a mi mundo pa que se pareciera a ti I turned my world upside down so it would be like you 01:57
Pero por más palmeras que plantemos en el jardín But no matter how many palm trees we plant in the garden 02:01

Lyrics & Translation

[English] And, now what?
Now what did I do?
If you were the one who taught me to dance
How can you step on me?
I turned my world upside down so it would be like you
But no matter how many palm trees we plant in the garden
This will never be Havana
I will always be Madrid
And what do I do now when another February comes?
How do I manage not to remember you anymore?
In two accents, we said a thousand "I love yous"
And in silence, we said: "This is it"
Then you left Varadero in my soul
And the Cibeles asked me about you
For your ways, you know, my love, I'm dying
But you will always be Havana
And I will always be Madrid
So what?
What did I do to you?
If you were the one who taught me to paint
Why didn't you tell me about the grays?
When you left, you took those colors
And those smells that I like to remember
You were the closest my home ever was
To having a sea, having a sea
I turned my world upside down so it would be like you
But no matter how many palm trees we plant in the garden
This will never be Havana
I will always be Madrid
And what do I do now when another February comes?
How do I manage not to remember you anymore?
In two accents, we said a thousand "I love yous"
And in silence, we said: "This is it"
Then you left Varadero in my soul
And the Cibeles asked me about you
For your ways, you know, my love, I'm dying
But you will always be Havana
And I will always be Madrid
